Hello rim-rollers! Steve "black two sugars" Harper, Cdn PM & Timbit aficionado here.Back in the bad ol' days political deals were made on beer-soaked tables in Quebec strip clubs.Well no more! Now we talk shop over a cup o' joe at Timmy's - served by sturdy post-menopausal women with nary a shred of sexuality.Bland, sanitized & cold - that's how we roll!Speaking of `bland, sanitized & cold', where's Jim Flaherty with our g'damn order? He better not have pocketed the change this time! Cheap prick.

TonnageVT:Well that's nice. I'm sure the Emirati gov't would also love to discuss the Indian slave labor issues with the Indian minister over a cup at Cafe Today, right? right? Hello? Is this thing on?

They get VERY touchy when that's brought up. Denial, then white-hot anger when you show facts.

I_Am_Weasel:I don't drink coffee, so I just did not realize how much an effect that Tim Hortons can have on someone. Take away the double double and I'm sure Baird would have ended up starting some sort of war.

sn0wblind:Wardrobe_Malfunction: It's amazing how long this franchise has been able to thrive on its reputation despite cheapening the quality of its products so many years ago.

It's amazing how people up here buy into the nationalistic crap tied to timmies

They're far, far better at wrapping themselves in the Canadian flag than they are at making a cup of coffee. It goes without saying which of those they devote more time, energy and money to perfecting.

As a people, we do a lot of associating brands with our identity. Timmies and its generally shiatty coffee and Molson and it's generally shiatty beer.
